What is Six Sigma? Greek character used in statistics;Greek character used in statistics; Measures Measures the capability of the process to the capability of the process to
perform defect free workperform defect free work I.e. variation - I.e. variation - standard deviation – i.e. how far a measured standard deviation – i.e. how far a measured result is from the average;result is from the average;
Six Sigma – Upper and lower specification Six Sigma – Upper and lower specification limits are 6 standard deviations from the limits are 6 standard deviations from the average;average;

What is Six Sigma?
Sigma value indicates how often defects Sigma value indicates how often defects are likely to occur. are likely to occur.
As sigma increases, cost goes down As sigma increases, cost goes down while profitability, productivity and while profitability, productivity and customer satisfaction go up. customer satisfaction go up.
